Décor Inspiration: An Exquisitely Detailed Living Space by Studio McGee

When Studio McGee is called upon to redesign a space, you can be supremely confident that the result will be fresh and modern and filled with light. Led by Shea McGee, who started the design company in her spare room just a few short years ago, the studio always delivers elegance and, occasionally, elegance with an edge. Their styling and finishing touches are thoughtful and considered, allowing them to deliver rooms that look collected and curated over time.

The space I am sharing with you here is one of their smaller projects, but it nonetheless encapsulates so many of the design elements that elevate their work far above the ordinary. In just two rooms, you can glean a veritable masterclass-worth of design ideas and tips to use in your own home. Unless you’re lucky enough to be a client of course . . . —Louise

Louise Keane grew up beside the sea in Dublin, inspiring a life-long love of the coast. She studied French and History of Art & Architecture in Trinity College in Dublin before moving to London to work first in publishing and then in Marketing & PR. After a move to Edinburgh, she decided to heed a creative urge which had been tugging at her sleeve for a number of years, and she retrained as an interior designer. While studying interior design, Louise discovered a love of pen and ink with watercolour illustration, which she now does alongside her interior design work. Louise runs her interior design company, Amalfi White Living, which offers her clients a fresh, elegant style, mixing vintage and modern pieces for a luxurious yet relaxed look. She dreams of renovating a white house by the sea.www  email
